Cue No. 25

Ominous cellos and basses slither in underneath Snape’s dialogue. Horns and upper strings join in as he walks away. Wandering english horn and harp maneuver the uneasy harmonies as Filch brings Malfoy into the room, claiming he was sneaking into the party; minor triads of horns move around while the scene takes place.

The return of low cellos and basses signals Snape’s presence again, and he volunteers to escort Malfoy out of the room. In the long, dark corridor just outside, Snape gets serious and makes it clear to Malfoy that he absolutely knows what the boy is up to and that he is not handling it with grace. Malfoy’s theme gets a small mention, then the Chamber of Secrets 2 theme begins over the familiar visual setting, reminding the audience that these two are pawns in Voldemort’s plan and the real threat is still out there somewhere.

The camera slowly pans over to reveal Harry leaning against a wall, listening to what is being said. A slightly edited and unused alternate ending to “Petrified Colin” from Chamber of Secrets is used here to transition from the hallway to the above shot of the Hogwarts Express. Harry is sitting in a compartment and begins explaining to Ron what he overheard.
